Seems like a lot of explanation is missing still of how genetics connects to women-voting becoming an inalienable truth, even among the men of that study. Genuinely belief in early-feminism? It seeming too impossible by how democracy now requires half of women's vote, so people just accept it and try to avoid thinking about it? A type of stubbornness for school/society-taught "truths"? The last one though wouldn't explain how things got this way in the first place.

Hi, I’ve been reading your writings about HBD and politics with interest. Your view that politics on the leftism-basedness scale is mostly hereditary and change is driven mostly by mutation accumulation is interesting. Added to this your view that propaganda isn’t that effective. However I feel when thinking of historical examples that at least the shift towards leftism wasn’t linear.

For example you’d agree that mutation accumulation was going on already early 20th century, I suppose? But we see strong reactions against the left, which rise would be going on due to mutation pressure,(granted communism of that time and new left today are somewhat different), like the rise of NSDAP. There was significant shift from social democrats to NSDAP before Hitlers rise to power. And I would understand NSDAP as a manifestation of strongly groupish values vs. lefties more internationalist, motivated more due to economic reasons etc. So in those times converting leftists was possible. Maybe a leftie of that time was more motivated by economic factors to vote left, not so much by residues, and could be converted to be nationalist more easily than a leftist or our time.

Alt hype on ”nazi-commie pipeline”:

Other examples could be Italy. Also in 1920s USA restricted greatly migration which I think should be seen as a shift towards group values. In Spain Franco managed to safeguard his nation from the left.

So how would you explain this kind of shift in election in Germany? I think it’s not genetic, but short-term political changes have to have other explanations. Propaganda was still effective? One traditional explanation for Hitlers rise to power was fear of communism, but it doesn’t apply so well if the voter changing to NSDAP was a former commie. Propaganda and great recession?
